Question drill motor specs

Does anyone know where to find the performance curve for this year's drill motor? (other than the manual, which is missing those specs...)

thanks!

I called S-B Power Tool today, and the woman told me that the specs were posted on the FIRST web page today. I assume that means we will see them in today's update (Update #2). She was very helpful and knew what I was talking about as soon as I said I was on a FIRST team!

I called the New Jersey office, as Andy Baker posted .

more on drill motors

I've checked all the sites, and I'm pretty sure that these drill moters by S-B are Skil - Bosch, so I beleve they should not be too much different than last years specs, and if someone could confirm that would be nice as well.

That is assuming 100% Gearbox effieciency! I would think this year's trannies have less efficiency than last year's because of the 2 added planetary gears to each set.

These drill motors are different. Much different. Last year's specs aren't a good indicator of what they can do, really, as they may be twice as powerful.

The RPM is nice information, but what we really need to see is the stall torque and current. Without that, we can't really do much.

The gearboxes are more efficient.

(That's information I've gathered from the myriad other threads about this.)

One more little thing about this year's drill motors, they have lots of pieces!! And they are a pain in the butt to put back together right. Too many interlocking gears and pins and ways to line stuff up right.

I wouldn't suggest anybody take these suckers apart unless you know EXACTLY how they work and how to put them back together.

From Update #2,
" You can not use last year's 3/8" drill motor/ gearbox as we have provided a 1/2 " motor/gearbox this year"

Anyone get the newest specs for this years drill motors?

Check the technical section of the White Papers for a photo walk-through of taking the Bosch 3360 Gearbox apart. To reassemble, just reverse the procedure. As you will see, these gearboxes are substantially different (and beefier!) than the prior versions.

Yeah, That would have been really helpful YESTERDAY when the darn thing came apart in my hands, and we had to waste 20-30 minutes trying to reassemble them.

when will team update #3 appear

Anyone have any clue when team update #3 will show, Because #2 had no drill motor specs? I'd especially be appreciative if I got a time.

I called FIRST today, and asked when the motor spec sheets would be made available. I was told they are working to compile them and that they would "be available as soon as possible." I told them that S-B Power Tool told me yesterday that the specs were already on the FIRST web page, and I was told that they "might" be released in Update #3 (apparently they were not), but more likely they would be out sometime next week.

I called the New Jersey S-B Power Tool again, and was told once again that the spec sheets were already on the FIRST website, and that FIRST had told them to direct people to the FIRST website. They said that they could not give me anymore information, even when I told them the specs were not really on the web page.

Does anyone else find this extremely poor form on FIRST's end? For how long have they known what motors go into the kit? How could they leave out such a *VITAL* piece of information such as this? The FIRST administration seems to still leave a great deal to be desired.
